CHICAGO — The trial of the man charged with murdering three of Jennifer Hudson’s family members has resumed, with the Oscar-winner listening to a police officer’s description of finding her dead family members.

Hudson sat next to her fianci Tuesday as she did after testifying Monday, the trial’s first day. Prosecutors shifted their focus to presenting crime scene evidence in the case against her former brother-in-law, William Balfour.

Hudson hung her head and shut her eyes while the officer described finding her mother’s body sprawled in the living room with gunshot wounds through her back.

The officer then described finding her brother in his bed of a gunshot wound to the head.

Balfour was estranged from his wife, Hudson’s sister, at the time of the killings. He has pleaded not guilty.
